CHICKEN RICE-A-RONI®
Made with shredded chicken, tender basmati rice, and smoky-sweet, caramelized onions and peppers, this chicken Rice-A-Roni® was inspired by a Lebanese rice and vermicelli pilaf. Garnish with fresh herbs, lemon juice, chili flakes, hot sauce, or even garlic-infused yogurt!

Steps:
- Place chicken, celery, carrot, onion, and bay leaf in a stockpot and cover with water. Set over high heat, add salt, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the thighs and legs can be pulled easily from the carcass, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Remove chicken to a bowl, carefully tipping the carcass to drain any broth from the cavity back into the stockpot.
- Let meat sit until it's cool enough to handle, 15 to 20 minutes. Separate skin, bones, and meat. Set aside 2 cups shredded meat (white, dark, or a combination of the two) for rice-a-roni and reserve the rest for another use.
- Transfer skin and bones back to the stockpot with the broth and simmer for 1 to 2 hours or until you need it. Strain.
- Combine oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. When hot and melted, add onion, bell pepper, and salt. Cook and stir until onion just starts to turn translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Add broken spaghetti and cook until toasted and light golden brown to dark brown in color, about 3 minutes; it's okay if the onions and peppers start to caramelize.
- Add rice and stir until completely coated. Add pepper, oregano, cumin, and saffron. Stir in 3 ½ cups chicken broth. Add cayenne, garbanzo beans, peas, and shredded chicken and return to a simmer.
- Cover tightly with a lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 15 minutes; do not lift the lid or stir during this time.
- Remove the lid and check the rice in a couple spots. It should be just barely tender. (If it seems undercooked, you can cover and cook for a few more minutes.) Replace the lid, turn off the heat, and let rice sit for 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle parsley and cilantro over top and stir to combine. Check for seasoning and serve immediately.

CHICKEN AND RICE WRAP (USING RICE-A-RONI)
Got this from the Rice-a-Roni recipe site. I use Rice-a-Roni quite often in different dishes when I am in a hurry and need to make something faster. Plus, it gives everything a jump start in the flavor departmnet. If you want to make this a vegetarian dish, leave out the chicken and add a can of drained vegetarian "Fri-chick" in place of the real chicken.

Here's my version of what's often called 'the San Francisco treat,' although the next time I see this served here will be the first time. I used real chicken broth and a variety of seasonings.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients in advance: Cut the chicken, veggies, and cheese into bite-sized pieces before you start cooking. This will save you time and hassle when you're assembling the wraps.
- Use a large skillet or griddle: This will allow you to cook all of the ingredients at once without overcrowding the pan.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can dry out quickly, so cook them just until they are cooked through. A meat thermometer is a helpful tool for checking the internal temperature of the chicken.
- Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in these wraps, so choose one that you enjoy the taste of. A sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper Jack cheese are all good options.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Feel free to add other ingredients to your wraps, such as avocado, salsa, or sour cream. You can also use different types of tortillas, such as spinach tortillas or whole wheat tortillas.
Conclusion:
These easy chicken rice wraps are a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover chicken and rice. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a satisfying and flavorful meal on the table in no time.
